What Happened to Happiness

It’s Tuesday, and on Tuesdays from March to October I would post a happiness prompt and affirmation to help shift your perspective and mine towards happiness, gratitude and ultimately joy.

If you’ve been here before then you may realize I haven’t made a Happiness Project post for over 3 months now. What happened to happiness? Well, time was not on my side as I navigated many ups and downs in this beautiful journey called life. And I also took some time for leisure, family and myself. I travelled a bit, did some reading, and of course, there’s the reality of life and work. And I love every minute of it, okay, almost every minute.

My sincere apologies on ditching the project. Making the videos took a fair amount of time and though I really enjoyed the creativity and the joy it brought you and I, it’s time to consolidate my efforts and energies and focus on what I really want to do here, spend time with you, spread some joy, and write. So…

each week we’ll continue with joy and happiness through writing. I’ll share something I found joy in during the week and if it resonates with you, you can share too! Kind of like a communal gratitude journal. There’s nothing like gratitude to lift you into joy. Of course, I’ll link back to your post, as I have before, if you leave the link in comments.

And it can be anything you choose, something your children did, a special place you travelled to, a book you read, a day you brewed a cup of Earl Grey and watched as the storm passed. It’s all up to you, whatever brings you joy.

We’ll call it Journey to Joy and I hope you’ll join me on this journey. You can expect a post each Saturday.

You see, nothing happened to happiness. It just elevated into joy and it’s there, always, depending on where and how you look.

Now tell me about something that brought you joy.
